Condensed Matter Seminar Announcement Alan Kyker UC Davis " Numerical Study of Coexistence of Superconductivity and Ferromagnetism " Date: Thursday, January 6, 2005 Time: 4:10 pm 416 Physics Abstract: We have developed numerical methods to study the orbital and spin pairing interactions of Superconductivity and Ferromagnetism. A highly efficient method for solving the Ginzburg Landau equations was developed to study the orbital effects with emphasis on the Abrikosov vortex state. Bogoliubov-de Gennes formalism was applied to finite momentum spin singlet pairing to develop spin polarized quasiparticles. These quasiparticles were then used to study possible Fulde-Ferrell-Larkin-Ovchinnikov states.
